Paul Roberge is a CEO @ Lingk | Unified Data, Integration and IT Agents at Lingk. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure of working with Paul Roberge for the past 2 years as one of his direct reports. Paul was able to successfully manage global sales efforts by communicating the corporate vision, directly managing several direct reports, working with other internal departments to overcome sales obstacles, and providing leadership in the area of formal coaching of the solution selling structure. Paul was especially talented at positioning and navigating our platform (Collaborate) for success among the many platforms that were represented at Blackboard. His approach to forecasting and pipeline management is a solid combination of data extrapolation/analysis with emphasis on the sales process and stage definitions. Paul is able to combine data from a number of functional areas and provide a high level of accuracy in forecasting for the overall division. As a manager and a leader, Paul was always very supportive and approachable, while allowing space for a productive, independent work environment. He will work with direct reports collaboratively on critical decisions, and will involve himself at the optimal time in order to encourage a positive outcome in all situations. I value the time that we were able to work together, and will take several great experiences forward as a result of reporting to Paul.", "Paul is a strong leader and well respected by Blackboard’s executive leadership and colleagues. His ability to build strong relationships with key stakeholders coupled with an analytically driven approach resulted in the creation of a high performing sales organization. This is validated by Paul’s consistent track record in delivering results and achieving his financial objectives. Year over year, Paul’s organization delivered results and met his targets.", and "Drive to Succeed. Results-orientated. Honesty. Integrity... these are some of the words that spring to mind as I think about working with Paul. I spent about three years reporting to Paul, first with Elluminate then with Blackboard. In addition to being a great business leader, Paul is a great coach and mentor and he certainly helped me to grow within the organisation. Yes - he's focussed on results and he always achieves them - but it's clear that he believes in investing in the people around him. He challenges people to be the best they can be in a very supportive way. Paul's one of those guys that has the drive, determination and character that means he will be successful at anything he chooses to do. I miss working with him but know that we'll be always be in touch one way or another."
